Weddings Serving Liquor. What do you think of the below idea? For any wedding receptions that serve liquor, that there would?

Question

be hired drivers in case someone is even in the slightest bit tipsy or drunk.- To prevent any drinking and driving .. The drivers would drive the guests home in the GUESTS OWN CAR. And of course another hired driver, would follow them to take the first driver back to the reception. What are your thoughts...

Answer 1

There is a service for this. Good idea.

Answer 2

The past few wedding I have attended had something we joyfully call "the drunk bus". Get in contact with a local hotel and see if they will offer you a group rate. Include the information with your invitations for those who live out of town and local guests who would prefer to party a bit. See if the hotel will provide a shuttle. If not, you can charter transportation. Two weddings I attended chartered school busses. Make sure you note on the hotel information that transportation to and from the hotel will be provided.

Not only does it provide your guests with a safe alternative to driving when they shouldn't be, it also allows they to continue the party.

You do not have the pay for the hotel, but you should pay for the transportation if the hotel does not provide it.

Answer 3

If you want to hire taxis for all your guests - that's entirely up to you.

Expect some people to till make their own plans - most people who drink will not drive; and you are not and cannot be responsible for their behaviour.

Answer 4

Why do you keep asking this?

I'm not trusting some random stranger to drive me home.

And any guests at my wedding were smart enough to plan ahead to have a hotel literally a block from my wedding venue, or to have one member of the group be a DD.

And, unless you're paying for all of this and all the ridiculous insurance that would be required for having random strangers driving other people's cars, it's not gonna happen.

Answer 5

A logistic nightmare. And depending how many guests you have you would need a whole slew of drivers and extra cars

Answer 6

This one is the worst idea yet.

Are you even actually planning a wedding, or are you just making up "solutions" to problems that dont exist for the fun of it?

Answer 7

It would be SO much cheaper just to use your Uber or Lyft account to send people home. If they've gotten so drunk they need to leave a car behind it should be on them to come pick it up the next day.

Answer 8

And how do you propose enforcing this? By having breathalyzers at the venue?

Bad idea. If your guests are alcoholics that can’t control themselves then don’t invite them or have a dry wedding. How do you intend on INSURING the driver?

Ps/ No one drives my car other than me, definitely no random stranger. No thank you.

Ps2/ Taxis, Uber and Lyft exist. No need to rediscover the wheel.

Answer 9

Guests dont bring their own cars to a wedding and the drink
they get a taxi or a hotel
2 drivers to get one guest home would be expensive
so would be insuringthe drivers to drive the guests cars

its an impractical idea that could never be provided close to the cost of a taxi/uber

Answer 10

I think anyone planning to go get drunk at a wedding should use a taxi or Uber or similar to convey them to and from the event if they do not have a designated driver with them. Event hosts should not have to be responsible for transporting guests on top of everything else.
